The Thwaites 6-ton dumper with cabin and +/-90° rotating bucket provides a maximum safe load of 6000 kg and allows for side unloading without additional maneuvering. This improves the work cycle and reduces site risk. Bucket capacities:

• volume with overflow: 3150 liters

• level volume: 2550 liters

• water volume: 1650 liters

• reinforced steel base 8 mm

• reinforced sides and mouth of the bucket

• bucket rotation up to 180° total range
